Chapter 84 Divine Power and Supernatural
As the ten thousand luck points disappeared, a bit of divine power emerged out of thin air. Before I could see clearly, this bit of Guandi divine power that the system got from somewhere was integrated into the statue. In a blink of an eye, it turned into supreme divine power to suppress all directions. All the ghosts and monsters within a radius of ten miles were struck by lightning. Anyone who was involved in the sin of killing was instantly scared to death. The rest were also in a panic, and they could only kneel down and shiver with their heads down in the direction of the temple.
Senya, who also felt the divine power, was overjoyed. Although she didn't know what had happened, she was sure that the offerings here had been recognized, and this was the greatest recognition for her as a priestess.
However, the one who benefited the most was Yan Xu. If the previous divine attack only stimulated his physical potential, then the divine power he obtained this time, in addition to further developing his physical potential, the most important thing was to enhance his willpower.
Yan Xu's willpower is actually not that good. In his previous life, he was neither a special forces soldier nor a killer, nor a psychopath. He is just an ordinary person. How can we expect him to have a heart as strong as iron and the spirit of becoming more courageous and never giving up? Even having gastroenteritis makes him feel like he is going to die on the toilet. He can't even shout out the slogan "I want to poop ten more times".
It was only after experiencing two wars and seeing many dead bodies that Yan Xu's mentality, which he had developed in peacetime, gradually began to change. After all, the scene of bloody corpses everywhere was too irritating to one's nerves. This was not a funeral or a banquet. One had to either adapt or go crazy.
Yan Xu is not crazy now. Apart from hiding far away, he has been slowly adapting, from stepping into the bronze door, killing the kappa, to now adapting to the war, step by step, with hesitations, but never stopping.
But that is not enough, there are still problems with his will and character, that is to say, there are hidden dangers such as hypnosis, illusion, and temptation.
This defect is nothing in the modern world, but in the world with extraordinary powers, it is always a fatal flaw.
However, after gaining divine power, ordinary means can no longer affect his mind as long as he does not encounter super-specification existence. This is Yan Xu's biggest gain this time.
The most important thing is that divine fighting goes hand in hand with divine power. As long as the nutrition is adequate and the will can hold up, Yan Xu can completely use this method to repeatedly temper his body and will, and eventually break through the limit and embark on the path of transcendence. And the upper limit depends entirely on how long he can hold on.
In other words, the road to transcendence has been opened for him. Even if this road is not easy to walk on, Yan Xu does not mind, because the road is already in front of him and the accelerator is under his feet. It depends on whether he dares to step on the accelerator in the face of thorns.
Yan Xu had long been looking forward to the extraordinary, but since it was extraordinary, how could he obtain it easily.
To learn a skill one has to be prepared to endure hardship for several years, let alone to gain strength beyond that of ordinary people.
Swordsman is the most direct and simplest path to transcendence that Yan Xu knows of. The rest, such as Onmyoji, Miko, and Priest, mostly rely on borrowing and are not pure enough.
But after learning about the path of a swordsman through Hui Ruomaru, Yan Xu gave up.
It was okay to practice hard every day for ten years, and he also endured the high requirements on talent, character, luck, etc. But the reason why Yan Xu was discouraged was that he had to go through life-and-death battles many times, because he was afraid of death.
However, Xianyu still wants to turn over and show the other side. Yan Xu naturally has a dream, otherwise he would not have mustered up the courage to step into the bronze door.
Now, extraordinary things can be expected, even if the road is difficult, but when Yan Xu clearly knows that every bit of pain can be exchanged for progress, he really feels that he can endure it. What people fear most is not suffering, but working hard but not seeing hope, this is despair.
Having tasted the sweetness, Yan Xu no longer felt sorry for the small amount of money in his hand. He first bound the affiliation with the temple, and then injected one thousand luck points into Xianggui's body.
Xiang Gui, who was eating a bacon rice ball, was suddenly stunned, and then her whole body began to vibrate, and the amplitude became stronger and stronger. She could hardly hold the rice ball in her hand. She was so anxious that she exerted force, and the rice flour-like thing squeezed out from between her fingers. Then Xiang Gui didn't care about all this, because her muscles were twitching, her bones were colliding, and the sound was getting louder and louder, and her body was undergoing tremendous changes.
As the ghost power hidden deep in the body was activated and strengthened by the luck points, Xianggui's originally small ghost horns became thicker and longer, and no longer round. The upper end tightened and curved like a blade, and his eyes turned into black pupils with white pupils.
However, the biggest change is in Xianggui's body. She grew taller again, but did not become more sturdy. Instead, the dimensions of her originally overdeveloped muscles have shrunk a bit. However, from the emergence of each muscle fiber, giving a feeling of being tempered into steel, it is known that her strength has not only not subsided, but has become stronger, faster and more powerful, especially in the back. As the small muscle groups are revealed, the muscles squeeze and highlight each other, just like opening a ghost back.
If Hibiki's power before was like that of a bear, strong and ferocious, then her power now is like an unstoppable cannonball that can really blow a person's head off. Obviously, her power is even more terrifying after combining speed and explosion.
Xianggui was stunned for a moment, and licked the milky rice milk in the palm of her hand in a daze. Although she didn't know what happened, she felt like she was even hungrier.
Maki, a shrine maiden of the mountain shrine, suddenly realized the connection between herself and Hibiki and was overjoyed. This meant that the mountain god had officially become a god, otherwise he would not be able to connect with his believers.
"Go prepare more delicious food, today will be an important day." Maki said excitedly to the cook, then respectfully presented the prepared food and snacks, and went on to prepare for the ceremony.
Sen Ya also noticed the changes in the mountain shrine, and his expression immediately became serious, and he helped to set up the venue.
Maki returned to her room, changed into formal clothes, took out her treasured Kagura bell and other ritual instruments, followed the ancient rituals, and danced the Kagura dance in the shrine.
The dance is actually just an appearance. In fact, Maki is guiding the confused mountain god through ancient rituals to exert his power and merge his own demon power with Onimaruyama.
This is the most important and dangerous moment. If he succeeds, Xianggui will become a real mountain god. If he fails, he will naturally be seriously injured and even die.
However, Xianggui grew up in Guimaru Mountain since childhood, and her breath was everywhere here, so the ghost power was smoothly integrated through the resonance of breath. The ghost power began to spread throughout Guimaru Mountain and produced some kind of communication.
During this period, if there are powerful demons in the mountain who feel unhappy, they will burst out with momentum to interrupt this process. Unfortunately, Mount Onimaru was cleaned up quite well by Xianggui and his daughter, and the ghosts that appeared in the previous war happened to be killed by Guandi's divine power, so her ghost power was smoothly integrated with Mount Onimaru, and she was marked with her own mark, and officially ascended to the position of mountain god. Moreover, because of the system, her deification is far more authentic and stable than the deification in Japan.
